The inspection frequencies for weighing and measuring devices used for commercial and law enforcement purposes, and other devices required by law to be inspected by a sealer, are established in Table 1: Inspection Frequencies (By Device Type). The specified times are maximum times between inspections. More frequent inspections may be conducted if requested by the device user, during a complaint investigation, or on the initiative of a sealer. For purposes of this chapter, the term "inspection" applies to a sealer inspecting, trying, and testing a device for applicable specifications, tolerances, and other technical requirements adopted in Chapter 1 of this division.
